Roast Pork Sirloin with Garlic and Rosemary

This is an easy and healthy dish. The preparation time is about 10 min. This pork cut is lean yet juicy and tender after roasting for 1 hour and 40 min. I use freshly cut rosemary from my own garden. The aroma of the herb is at its prime. When roasting, my house is filled with the fantastic smell of rosemary and garlic.


Ingredients:
2 to 2.5lbs of Pork sirloin (Pork shoulder is another good choice if you don't mind more fat ^_^)
1/2 tsp of salt
3 tbsp of olive oil
1 bulb of garlic
8 sprigs of rosemary (4 sprigs for roasting and the other 4 sprigs for garnish)
  1. Preheat oven to 325F.
  2. Mince the garlic. Mix it with salt and olive oil.
  3. Spread #2 on the pork evenly. Put 1 sprig of rosemary under the pork and 3 sprigs on the top of the pork.
  4. Put it in the oven and roast for approximately 1hour and 40 min, until the internal temperature reaches 160F.
  5. Remove the pork from oven and let it stand for several minutes. Transfer it to a plate and garnish it with the rest of the rosemary.
